Abstract

E-Learning, being the latest wave of education, is already having a fair show despite posing challenges for both instructors and students. Sometimes a learner is not able to see the value or benefit of the E-Learning course, and especially how the subject matter is going to help him/her in the real world. For learners to become truly engaged in the overall E-Learning process, they have to be aware of how the content is going to translate in real world settings. Even the most informative E-Learning courses aren't going to be effective if learners aren't made aware of how the material can help to improve their lives, either personally or professionally. By overcoming the common E-Learning challenges an effective and enlightening E-Learning courses for the learners has to be created. Implementation of cognitive science and artificial intelligence will provide the solution for the E-Learner to increase the adaptability. This research article aims to address the importance and impact of cognitive science in E-learning.
